Chapter 132: Even a Worm Will Turn

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Even a Worm Will Turn

The Drunken Immortal Brew was, after all, a liquor from the Divine Realm. Not only that, it was an extremely precious vintage even there. It wasn’t just alcohol; it could also induce a Purification of Essence and Marrow and even help one achieve enlightenment in the Celestial Dao.

In fact, when Hui Ke had gestured to him, Chu Fan had already guessed what he was thinking.

However, he didn’t know if this method would actually work.

But facing such a desperate situation, it was a last-ditch effort for Chu Fan.

After the two of them downed the bowl of liquor, the vast power contained within it exploded inside their bodies.

That power rapidly accelerated the healing of their internal injuries.

Even the wounds on their backs were quickly scabbing over and growing new flesh.

The process was so fast it was visible to the naked eye.

Before long, their bodies had already recovered to their Peak state.

But the power didn’t stop there. Instead, it accelerated the flow of True Qi in their meridians to a speed several thousand times faster than their normal Cultivation rate.

Chu Fan could clearly feel a scorching heat, like his meridians were on fire, from the rapid circulation of True Qi.

This sensation wasn’t pleasant; on the contrary, it was an unbearable torment.

The only thing they could do was quickly sit cross-legged, guard their minds, and endure this agony and pain.

This pain was no less intense than what Chu Fan had felt when he first activated his Chaos Body.

They were, after all, Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm Middle Stage. The rapid circulation in their meridians required a massive consumption of Spiritual Qi.

Fortunately, they were in the Miracle Secret Realm. The Spiritual Qi here was dozens of times richer than even the depths of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. If there hadn’t been enough Spiritual Qi for them to consume, they might have been burned alive from the inside out by the rapid circulation in their meridians.

But even for the Miracle Secret Realm, the circulation in their meridians caused the Spiritual Qi from all directions to converge on their location.

The Spiritual Qi formed a massive storm with the two of them at its center.

Such a huge commotion naturally woke Long Haixin and his group.

They opened their eyes and were immediately frightened by the sight before them.

Long Haixin was quick to react. The moment he understood what was happening, he drew his sword and lunged at Chu Fan.

Unfortunately, before he could even get close, the storm of Spiritual Power blasted him back.

"Your Highness, what is happening?" the eldest of the Gu Family asked Long Haixin, his face filled with terror.

"How should I know?" Long Haixin retorted. "Who cares what’s happening? Their clavicles have been pierced. Even if they have some heaven-defying ability to instantly heal their wounds and recover their Cultivation to its Peak, so what?"

"Then, we...?"

"We wait. Once this storm ends, I want to see what other tricks this Chu Fan has up his sleeve!" Long Haixin said, gritting his teeth.

However, the storm lasted for a full seven days.

Long Haixin and his men waited there for seven days.

It wasn’t just them. After dawn on the second day, almost everyone in the Secret Realm had gathered there, including the group from the Northern Domain.

Long Haixin did not provoke them.

And the people from the Northern Domain, drawn in by the storm of Spiritual Power, also refrained from causing trouble for Long Haixin for once.

Seven days.

Chu Fan and Hui Ke’s Cultivation levels surged as if they’d struck a gusher.

The storm of Spiritual Qi didn’t finally dissipate until a full day after their Cultivation had risen to the Nascent Soul Realm Peak.

After the storm subsided, the circulation in their meridians returned to its normal rate.

But now, the two of them were like drunkards. Their faces were as red as a monkey’s backside, and their heads were spinning.

They knew the three-year stupor was about to begin.

But before they fell unconscious, they had to deal with the trouble at hand.

Both of them fought against the dizziness as Chu Fan tightened his grip on the Juntian Sword.

Before they could make a move, the two Gu Family brothers leaped forward and grabbed the iron chains.

Long Haixin walked over with the smug look of a petty villain who had gotten his way.

"Chu Fan, I really underestimated you," he said. "To think you could create such an incredible scene after being so heavily injured, and even heal so quickly. But in the end, you are still my prisoner."

The other onlookers, who had been drawn by the storm of Spiritual Qi, had no intention of intervening. They simply stood to the side, watching the show.

A few who had previous conflicts with Chu Fan even wore expressions of schadenfreude.

"Long Haixin, it seems I was the one who underestimated your shameless treachery. You pierced our clavicles while we were unconscious from our injuries. If you have the guts, unlock these chains and let’s have a real fight!"

Chu Fan’s heart was already blazing with rage, but he didn’t counterattack immediately.

He and Hui Ke were now both at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak. Buoyed by their current state of intoxication, they didn’t give a damn about the fifty or sixty people present.

He just wanted to see which of these people deserved to die and which could be spared.

Just then, the burly man from the Northern Domain, having roughly figured out the grudge between Long Haixin and Chu Fan, sneered, "And here I thought you were a Commandery Prince. To think you’d be so despicable. A two-legged sheep is a two-legged sheep, after all."

Long Haixin wanted to lash out in anger but didn’t dare. He could only force himself to say, "This is a private matter between him and me. I hope you will not interfere."

"I’m afraid that won’t do," the burly man said in a tone that brooked no argument. "Seven days ago, I saw these two kids on the brink of death. I’d also like to know what kind of heaven-defying method allowed them to recover to their Peak so quickly. Therefore, you will hand these two over to me."

Chu Fan could now see it clearly. Not a single one of these people was decent.

He glanced at Hui Ke and said softly, "Before we fall into our slumber, let’s have ourselves a proper slaughter!"

"This humble monk has the very same intention. It’s just these troublesome chains... I’ll need your help to break them, Benefactor."

Chu Fan nodded. As the two factions were arguing, he swung the Juntian Sword.

Under the Juntian Sword’s Sword Qi, the iron chains piercing their clavicles were sliced apart as easily as tofu.

Chu Fan casually found an unknown metal rod about the length of a staff in the Jun Tianjian World and tossed it to Hui Ke.

After all, Hui Ke’s wooden staff had been lost long ago when they were heavily wounded by the Nascent Soul Realm expert’s self-detonation.

Hui Ke thanked him and charged directly into the crowd.

"Those seven over there have a connection with me. The rest can all be killed." Chu Fan pointed toward Yao Zhi and her group of six, then rushed directly at Long Haixin, Juntian Sword in hand.

Long Haixin had still been arguing with the burly man from the Northern Domain over who Chu Fan and Hui Ke belonged to, but the sound of the chains breaking gave him a fright.

And now, as Chu Fan charged at him with absolute, overwhelming power, he was simply stunned.

But Chu Fan didn’t care if he was stunned or not. His only goal was to kill him.

Before, he might have tolerated Long Haixin because of his status, but after he had resorted to such a despicable, underhanded trick, for Chu Fan to show mercy now wouldn’t be kindness—it would be idiocy.

Even a clay bodhisattva has a temper!

Therefore, Chu Fan’s attack was the First Technique of the Dream-Breaking Meteor Sword.

The two Gu Family brothers standing beside Long Haixin managed to react. One charged forward to meet Chu Fan’s attack, while the other shielded Long Haixin with his own body.

However, Chu Fan was using the Dream-Breaking Meteor Sword, and his Cultivation was now at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak.

How could the likes of them possibly stop him?

With a single slash of his Sword, both Gu Family brothers were dead.

His goal was to use this window, before the liquor’s effects made them fall completely unconscious, to go on a rampage and eliminate any future threats. So, of course, Chu Fan didn’t stop after killing two men with one strike.

He unleashed the first five techniques of the Dream-Breaking Meteor Sword, one after another without pause...
